Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Chairman SN Subrahmanyan’s recent remarks during an employee interaction have sparked widespread criticism. Subrahmanyan suggested that employees should work 90 hours a week, including Sundays, claiming, “If I can make you work on Sundays, I’ll be happier.” He drew comparisons to his own work ethic, stating, “I work on Sundays also.” Critics slammed the comment, accusing L&T of promoting an unhealthy work culture, drawing parallels to Narayana Murthy’s earlier controversial stance on workweeks. The debate has fueled broader discussions on work-life balance and corporate expectations in India’s private sector.
